The Sabres have asked for and received permission from the Bruins to interview Boston assistant general manager Jim Benning for Buffalo's vacant general manager position, according to multiple reports.

Benning has been with the Bruins since 2006 and was one of general manager Peter Chiarelli's first hires. Before that, Benning had been in the Sabres front office for 12 years, the last eight as director of amateur scouting.

Buffalo owner Terry Pegula fired long-time general manager Darcy Regier and second-year coach Ron Rolston last week. Pat LaFontaine was brought in as the new president of hockey operations, with one of the first tasks to hire a new GM.

According to TSN, other candidates include three other teams' assistant general managers: Pittsburgh's Jason Botterill, Toronto's Claude Loiselle and Montreal's Rick Dudley.

Benning played a large part in drafting some of the players that helped Buffalo to back-to-back conference finals in 2006 and 2007, including Ryan Miller, Derek Roy, Jason Pominville and Thomas Vanek. Other Benning draft picks who made their way to the Bruins include Dennis Wideman and Daniel Paille.
